The Lord Jesus told us to go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature, and to teach them all that He has taught us.  Therefore, it is a joy for us to pray for and give financial support to those whom the Lord has called to labor in different places.

It takes time and effort to pray for our missionaries.  But we have committed ourselves to this end.  It takes time and effort to give financial support to our missionaries.  But we have committed ourselves to this endeavor as well.

At New Bethel, we consider it a command and a privilege to support missions.  As of January 1, 2005, the church moved to the Faith Promise program as a way to support our missionaries.  We will re-evaluate our program on a periodic basis.

Update:  As a result of moving to the Faith Promise method of supporting our missionaries instead of the "budget method", our missions contributions increased 65% for the year 2005!  We give praise to the Lord for this increase.  And this was with about 20% of the congregation being involved regularly.  We have challenged ourselves to 100% involvement for the year 2006!

"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you:..." Matthew 28:19, 20a, KJV

Special report on Prison Ministries which was headed up by Chaplain Charles Joulwan, personal friend to our Pastor for over 30 years.

In February, 2006, Brother Charlie reached the age of 80.  He was still working full time in the prison systems of Delaware and Maryland.  He was a tireless worker.  But, health issues came along.  He had heart problems for many years, but just kept going.  Finally, he succumbed to cancer and other complications.  Brother Charlie was promoted to Heaven in October of 2006.  The Lord said, "Charlie, I need you up here with me." and with that, He took him home.

Charlie is now face to face with the Savior he loved and shared with inmates in particular for many years.  Actually, he would share the Lord with anyone that would listen to him.  He always had a pocket full of tracts and never failed to pass them out.  Charlie Joulwan was "one of a kind".

He leaves behind his wife of many years, Cathy, to forge on without him.  Pray for her as she has several opportunities to carry on prison ministry work.  She will appreciate your prayers.
